Dear Journal,

I am sitting here in my room contemplating my actions that have cost the relationships bound to this house that I sit in. You would think that I would be out having myself a fabulous time with my mother, Lorelai Gilmore, since it is summer. But that does not seem to be the case. Ever since I had slept with Dean, my first boyfriend who is married, everything was slowly crumbling at my feet. It happened only a few days ago, and ever since then my mother has only made mere acknowledgements of my presence. I feel as though writing this will slowly help me work through the pain that has been building up inside of me. The truth is, I slept with Dean, in spite of my own heartache. I had loved my ex boyfriend Jess, but then he had moved on with his life without me. Sleeping with Dean was only an action to show myself that I could also move on without him. I wish Jess would come back again, so at least one thing around here could possibly be good again. I have realized that the choice that I have made has made my mother very upset. She is hardly ever around anymore, but with Luke Danes, Jess' uncle. They finally got together on the same night as the dreaded event this entry is based upon. I have to make things right again with everyone-including Jess. I must go now-mom just got home.

Rory

I slowly put my journal down upon my desk and got up when I heard the sound of my mother arriving home. I cracked the door open a little to see her rubbing her forehead with a pained expression on her face. My feelings instantly turned to guilt, for I knew I had put those feelings inside her body. I felt like I had to get out of this house for a while, so I thought of Lane. I hadn't told her of the incident yet since I had locked myself in my room ever since. She would let me stay with her and the guys for a little bit, while I gave my mother some space. With that thought, I packed a overnight bag with enough clothes to last me, and wrote a letter to my mother.

Dear Mom,

I know that I have been causing you a great deal of pain and stress by living here at this moment. I never meant to make you feel this way or betray you. Sorry could not be said enough times. To get out of your way, I will be spending some time with Lane. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.

Rory

I then climbed out my bedroom window. When I got to Lanes, she hugged me and told me to come inside.

Lane: I thought I would never see you again!

Rory: Well, things have been very hectic.

Lane: Really? How so?

Rory: I need to stay here for a while.

Lane: Oh no. Something bad must have happened to you to want to stay away from Lorelai. What happened?

Rory: I'll tell you, but you have to promise not to freak.

Lane: I won't. I promise.

Rory: (takes a deep breath) Ok. I slept with Dean.

Lane: (widens eyes) you mean-but-why-he's-married.

Rory: (glares)

Lane: Sorry.

Rory: I didn't mean to. It just happened (starts crying).

(Lane hugs her)

Lane: It will be alright. Of course you can stay here.

Rory's Room

Lorelai knocks on Rory's bedroom door and walks in. Expecting to see Rory, panic overcomes her. She then sees the letter. Picking it up, she starts to read it carefully. Tears form in her eyes, which then turn to sobs. She lays herself in Rory's bed, still crying.

Lane's house

Rory is writing a letter to someone very fast. Her expression is unreadable. The camera pans over her shoulder only to see the first line of the letter.

Dear Jess,
